There was light snow falling in the sky. Mrs. Perroux, dressed elegantly and noblely, took her beautiful daughter in hand and went to the cathedral to celebrate the festival happily.

In the morning, Lieutenant General Alexander Hood was carrying a large bag of handover documents and was preparing to rush to the Admiralty.

This top-secret file package lists suspects who may be the main priest of the Slaanesh cult, or people related to them. But he no longer had time to check them one by one.

On this year's Sanguinius Day, the appointment letter for promotion to the Admiralty Department of the Obscure Star Territory was finally delivered to him after many twists and turns.

Also from this day on, he, like his brother, Samuel Hood, became White Flag Navy Vice Admiral, and officially had the right to command the main fleet battle group.

As the traitors hiding in the Eye of Terror became more and more unscrupulous, the defense pressure reached critical point. The request for help sent by the Bastion Fleet to the Gothic Fleet was also sent on the eve of Sanguinius's Day.

Lord Admiral Venuska Katalia appointed the newly promoted Vice Admiral Alexander Hood to lead the 'Divine Will' battle fleet that was being refitted and upgraded in the Lucius Forge World to provide support.

The flagship of this battle group is the Retribution-class battleship 'Divine Will' that he used when he first became captain. The battle group includes 3 battlecruisers, several detachments composed of 5 cruisers, and 4 full ships. Organize frigate squadrons, each squadron has 4 frigates. The scale is huge.

In addition, there are hundreds of transport ships, supply ships, carrier ships, etc. that provide support for this fleet operation.

Today is also the last day he is responsible for guarding the Fleet Military Intelligence Command. He will sail to Lucius in the evening to assemble with his fleet.

Some top-secret documents will be handed over today to Commodore Edward Perroux, who will take over as chief of Fleet Military Intelligence Command. Brigadier General Perroux continued his unfinished work until he returned from the voyage.

"Sir, this is the Sanguinius' Day gift that the lady has prepared for you." After the old butler handed the gold-rimmed bicorn hat to Lieutenant General Hood, he presented an exquisite gift box with both hands.

The young lieutenant general opened the box, and inside was a sparkling diamond bow tie.

There is also a small and exquisite greeting card at the bottom, which reads, 'Congratulations to Dad on his promotion to the Honorable Vice Admiral of the White Flag Navy. I wish Dad a safe and happy Sanguinius Day. I hope you will return triumphantly as soon as possible. Love your Farida', and Draw a cute smile.

Lieutenant General Alexander Hood raised the corner of his mouth in a rare move, chuckled slightly, and put the diamond bow tie on the collar of his brand-new general uniform, looking extremely luxurious.

"Wrap the Retribution-class battleship Divine Will in a box on my desk and give it to her. If she comes back, tell her I won't be back for dinner tonight."

After saying that, he hurriedly got into the car carrying a briefcase filled with top-secret documents. He will be very busy on this day.

Maintenance room of Chuji Academy.

"Horatio, here you go. Happy Sanguinius' Day." Louise handed a beautiful pendant to Horatio beside her.

"Is this...the black stone?" Horatio looked at the pendant.

"We Cadians use this as an amulet. It is said to be able to resist the corruption of Chaos. Do you need me to tie it on for you?" Louise walked forward with a smile and opened the clasp of the pendant.

Horatio smiled: "Thank you, I'll give this to you."

He opened a beautiful gift box and handed it to Louise. The gift inside actually made her face look surprised.

She thought it would be a knife or something, but what lay in the gift box was actually a beautiful custom-made Skyhawk-shaped rose rosary, which looked like a small gold medal.

"There is a miniature stance generator inside. Wearing this rosary bead can form a protective energy field close to your body, which can resist any attack on you, but it takes 24 hours for the stance to recharge for the next protection. "

"This... is very expensive, you should keep it." Louise knew that either she would have to spend a lot of money or a very noble person could get such a rose rosary. This gift alone might cost him all his hunting bounty.

Horatio ignored her refusal and hung the string on her body.

"I may not always be able to rush to your side at the most dangerous moment during the battle, but this can at least help you and me gain a chance."

"Thank you, Horatio." Louise smiled, feeling the delicate warmth in her cold heart for a long time.

It is said that Miss Hood and Miss Peru also prepared gifts for Horatio, and Horatio also prepared gifts in return.

But they don’t have the chance to give gifts to each other for the time being, so they can only wait until the end of the day.

underground.

Zhongchao people have their own way of commemorating. They may not have so many exquisite decorations, but various stalls cover the streets next to the church. The streets are bustling with people, singing, selling, shouting, and acrobatics. Quite a pyrotechnic smell.

This is the Church of St. Arabella in the G-8 neighborhood of Vegas.

The seats of the Cathedral of the Goddess can accommodate 300,000 people, but in front of the fanatical and devout believers, the seats for prayer are still in short supply, and many people slept on the floor outside the church the night before.

Horatio led 30 Hell's Vanguards to this place on three Valkyrie fighters of the Navy.

Since the last time his helmet was destroyed, Horatio simply put on the Sergeant Major's Beret on his head. Louise stood beside him, constantly scanning the surroundings with the Shield of Orm helmet.

He observed the existing defense.

In the outer part, Arbitrator Javert and five Arbitrators of the Ministry of Justice led the soldiers of the Imperial Guard to guard the order outside the cathedral every five meters. They were from the 304th Regiment of Cadia and had purple eyes like Louise.

They were originally going to the Hades Galaxy for garrison, but because of the Saint Gilles Festival, they were temporarily transferred by the Military Affairs Department of the Abyss Port to assist in defense.

Forty percent of these people are veterans who are good at managing order. They also set up heavy logging guns and sandbags outside the church gate and on both sides of the church.

In the vestibule of the church where he was, 50 fully armed silver-armored and black-robed combat nuns lined up in front of their own saint's cathedral to guard. They were veterans among the combat nuns - the pure angels. The armor was printed with a large number of pure marks, and the kraft paper full of scriptures fluttered in the wind, majestic and awe-inspiring, and the evil spirits were afraid.

In addition, there were many ceremonial nuns and speech nuns in white robes. They were the ritual personnel of the festival, but they were all led by a senior nun wearing strong armor and carrying a hymn sound array. They were singing the rehearsed hymns loudly, and the pure female voices were pleasant to the ears.

Because the remains of Saint Arabella were here, the Holy Rose Sisters attached great importance to the defense of this place. The number of people sent was not only the largest, but also elite.

Huh! ! ! ! --

A gust of wind blew, and a huge black shadow shrouded the sky above the vestibule.

Horatio raised his head, it was a blood-red Thunderhawk gunboat.

As the battle sisters and the Imperial Guards cleared the area, pedestrians clamored to make room for the Red Thunderhawk to land.

At first, people complained that parking the vehicle in such a sacred place would disturb the rest of the Saint.

But soon, the tall warriors who walked down from the church stunned everyone.

On this day, the residents who went to this church had the great honor of witnessing the legendary Blood Angel Astartes.

The five angels walked to the courtyard square in front of the Sky Maiden Church. Many citizens of the Empire kowtowed to them in gratitude after seeing them. The lay clerks in hooded brown robes stood beside the Blood Angels and passionately preached the great legend of Saint Guilles.

"Lord Romain Rolland." Horatio saluted the monk who led the team and said, "It's great to see you recover as before. Thank you for coming to help in your busy schedule."

"You're welcome, Sergeant Horatio. Today is our father's festival. It is the sacred duty of us, the descendants of Sanguinius, to protect the imperial citizens who come to pray for blessings." The tall warrior was humble and elegant in his words.

"The ceremony will begin soon. Let us protect it together."

In the void of Abyss Port, the Blood Angels' Blade of Vengeance' battle barge.

"Report!" The birdmaster who was on guard suddenly shouted.

"Report." The captain looked at the birdmaster.

"We detected an unknown reading approaching in the distant void! The identification code is... 8 8s! The volume is estimated to be at least at the cruiser level!" The birdmaster looked solemn.

"My lord, what are your instructions?" The captain looked at Captain Afel behind him.

This solemn warrior looked at the distant void. He felt something. A hatred deeply rooted in his blood was heating up and boiling.

"Call back some brothers, the ape-killing army is coming for blood." The captain said to the herald, and then said to the captain: "Contact the Gothic Fleet, let's crush these 'blood dogs' together."

The Blood Angels warriors in the front hall of the Sky Maiden Church have all received the order of the herald. The fighting brothers looked at each other solemnly for a moment. After the two Blood Angels saluted their brothers, they returned to the Thunder Eagle.

"What's going on?" Horatio frowned and asked.

"We have detected the scarlet signal in the void. The battle barge will sail out to prevent these guys from doing anything dangerous. Because there may be many Chaos Space Marines on the enemy ship, we must withdraw some fighting brothers."

Horatio felt a little uneasy.

[Will it be a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain...] But even if it is, he can only bite the bullet.

If he was Captain Afel, he would not risk the flagship being seized to go to the void for alert.

Suddenly, Horatio noticed a strange figure in the dark.

"Where are the soldiers on that tower?" Horatio asked a lieutenant of the Astra Militarum.

The lieutenant looked at the tower with a telescope. The sniper he arranged disappeared. They were responsible for alerting the soldiers around the church. Since the sniper was missing, it only meant one thing.

"Be alert!" Horatio shouted.

At the same time, he activated the omen fragment.

He saw a group of fanatical cultists covered in blood rushing under his feet. He also saw the soldiers of the Blood Pact wearing blood-red armor. These were elite warriors who believed in Khorne, and their combat effectiveness was on par with that of the Astra Militarum soldiers.

At the same time, he also saw that there was indeed a Khorne warship in the void, and there was a wizard with skulls hanging on the ship, waving his fangs and claws, and he didn't know what he was doing.

As the church bells rang slowly.

Nuns in white robes lined up neatly in the square outside the Cathedral of the Goddess of Heaven, with ten combat nuns protecting them on one side, the arch-sister presiding over the ceremony standing in front, and the devout laymen behind them.

Behind these hooded robes followed the "flagellates" who were redeeming their sins. These people were topless and whipped their backs with nine-tailed whips, which were already bleeding.

Behind them were the imperial people who lined up in a long queue, and they would follow the ceremony team into the church to participate in the first day of the ceremony.

The lively and cute children couldn't wait, they ran out of the queue and played in the square.

Several children walked up to Horatio, who was wearing a beret and was on guard, and Louise and Archie stood on his left and right to keep alert.

Horatio saw the cute girl with heterochromatic eyes at a glance, and it seemed that the baker and his wife had also come here to participate in the ceremony.

"Wow, your sword is so big." A child pointed at the Holy Blood Chainsaw Sword behind Horatio and said, "Big brother, are you a Space Marine? Only Space Marines can hold such a big sword."

"I am a soldier of the Imperial Navy." Horatio answered while observing the surroundings.

"Wow! Imperial Navy! Aren't you sailing big ships? Why are you here?"

"Because I want to protect you."

As soon as these words came out, the children looked at the black-haired young man in front of them, their eyes flashing with envy and admiration.

"So cool, we also want to join the Imperial Navy. Big brother, how can we become a warrior like you?"

[You can't say that you have to lose both your parents first. ]

Horatio raised the corners of his mouth helplessly and smiled bitterly.

[+Horatio, a group of cultists are approaching from the west, get ready+] Farida's voice came from the communication device.

She was wearing light power armor and a jetpack, so she was sent by Horatio to be a scout.

[+Boss! Boss! +】Yoyo's voice came from the communicator again: [+I saw the fierce-looking red-armored people in the south, oh! There are so many of them, they saw me, I have to run! +】

In addition, there are people from the labor gang hiding nearby to provide them with real-time reconnaissance intelligence.

[+Boss, be careful, a group of people are coming from the east, they are coming aggressively, and there are a lot of people +]

"When you grow up, apply for the Imperial Navy Officer Preparatory Academy preparatory students. Now stand back in the team." Horatio replied with a smile.

The elder sister has started the ceremony, the incense lanterns are dancing, and the civilians bow their heads and silently pray towards the church.

They walked very fast, but the civilians still walked slowly.

"The team walks faster!" Horatio urged loudly, while monitoring the movements nearby.

[+Everyone, there are cultists approaching, keep combat alert! +] He issued a warning to the surrounding soldiers.
